纽约市长佐赫兰·曼达尼出席周五在世贸遗址举行的9/11纪念活动一事引发了该市部分人士的批评，其中一名前警官表示市长“或许本该缺席”，另一名参与者则称他的出席“失礼”且“极具冒犯性”。
曼达尼此前因与有争议的政治人物和网络人士的关联，以及任命拉姆齐·卡塞姆为其政府首席法律顾问而饱受批评。卡塞姆曾为关塔那摩一名与基地组织恐怖袭击阴谋有关的在押人员辩护。
前纽约州共和党州长乔治·帕塔基、9/11时期纽约消防局局长托马斯·冯·埃森等人曾呼吁曼达尼不要出席仪式。
“他还是来了，这让我们很不舒服，”当天遇难的父亲沃尔特·马图扎对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。

马图扎表示，他是发起请愿要求曼达尼不要出席活动的遇难者家属团体成员之一。
他提及曼达尼与主播哈桑·皮克的关联，皮克曾称美国“活该遭遇9/11”，同时也提到了曼达尼对卡塞姆的任命。

来自斯塔滕岛的马图扎说，他的父亲是卡尔期货经纪公司的数十名遇难者之一，美国航空公司11号航班撞击北塔时，他们的办公室位于92层上方。
前新泽西州警官迈克对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，他当时在哈德逊河对岸看电视直播，目睹了恐怖袭击的发生，之后前往曼哈顿协助疲惫不堪、坚守岗位的纽约市警察。
“基于他过往的言论，没错，他或许本该缺席，”迈克在评价曼达尼时说道。
他补充说，曼达尼对卡塞姆的任命也让他感到不安，称市长本可以“用完全不同的方式处理这件事”。

“但他还是这么做了，不幸的是人们不会忘记这件事。”
另一名参与者在被问及曼达尼周五的出席情况时，称他为“共产主义者”，并补充说这场纪念活动“本不该成为政治事件”。
从佛罗里达州霍贝桑德专程赶来纽约参加纪念活动的史蒂文谴责曼达尼的出席“失礼且冒犯”。

“过去几周我一直在关注这件事，我看到他们收到了超过70万纽约人要求他不要到场的签名。作为市长，我想他有权出席……但他所代表的群体和他结交的人……我觉得他应该远离这里。我认为这里不需要他的出现，我认为他作为一个人，应该尊重这一点。”
根据请愿书的统计数据，当时该请愿书已获得超过11万个签名。
史蒂文称任命卡塞姆是“令人憎恶的”，并补充说，那些不记得或未曾经历过9/11的年轻一代正在被“错误信息”误导，不理解这场恐怖袭击的真相。
他表示会教育自己的孩子了解9/11事件，这样他们就不会走上同样的意识形态道路。
参与者约翰对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，曼达尼确实有权出席。
约翰称他的朋友在如今的商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克所在的康托·菲茨杰拉德公司遇难——该公司当天有超过650人遇难，是双子塔中遇难人数最多的公司。他表示，只要曼达尼对在场悼念的遇难美国人保持尊重，他就不反对这位民主党人出席。
福克斯新闻数字频道已联系曼达尼征求置评。
在之前的一份声明中，这位市长表示他为纽约感到骄傲，“热爱这座城市和这个国家”。
“[我]希望本周的焦点能放在那些在25年前的9/11恐怖袭击中失去亲人的家庭身上，同时也关注那些为这座城市倾尽全力的急救人员，以及那些齐心协力帮助同胞的纽约民众。”

9/11 memorial mourners react to Mamdani’s decision to attend ceremony: ‘disrespectful’
Mourners at the 9/11 Memorial at the Twin Towers site in Lower Manhattan criticized New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani for attending the remembrance service despite a petition and public outcry demanding he stay at city hall.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s presence at Friday’s 9/11 remembrance at Ground Zero drew criticism from some in the city, including one former police officer who said the mayor “probably should have skipped it” and another mourner who called his appearance “disrespectful” and “very offensive.”
Mamdani has faced criticism over his associations with controversial political and online figures, as well as his decision to appoint Ramzi Kassem as his administration’s chief counsel. Kassem previously represented a Guantánamo detainee linked to an al Qaeda terrorist plot.
Former New York Republican Gov. George Pataki, 9/11-era FDNY Commissioner Thomas von Essen and others called on Mamdani to skip the ceremony.
“He showed up anyway. It does bother us,” Walter Matuza, whose father Walter was killed that day, told Fox News Digital.

Matuza said he was part of the group of victims’ families that initiated the petition to keep Mamdani away.
He cited Mamdani’s association with streamer Hasan Piker, who once said America “deserved 9/11,” as well as Mamdani’s appointment of Kassem.

Matuza, of Staten Island, said his father was one of dozens at Carr Futures brokerage who died after American Airlines Flight 11 struck the north tower just above their 92nd floor offices.
Mike, a former New Jersey police officer, told Fox News Digital he recalled watching the terror unfold on television from across the Hudson – and later came to Manhattan to help relieve exhausted NYPD officers stuck at their posts.
“Based on the rhetoric that he’s used in the past. Yeah, he probably should have skipped it,” Mike said of Mamdani.
He added that Mamdani’s appointment of Kassem also troubled him, saying the mayor could’ve handled the situation in a “whole different way.”

“But, he did it and unfortunately people aren’t going to forget it.”
Another mourner called Mamdani a “communist” when asked about his appearance on Friday, adding that the memorial was “not supposed to be a political event.”
Steven, who traveled all the way to New York from Hobe Sound, Florida, to attend the remembrance, lambasted Mamdani’s presence as “disrespectful” and “offensive.”

“I’ve been following that over the past couple weeks and I saw that I think they had upwards of 700,000 New Yorkers requesting him not to be here. I mean, as the mayor, I would assume he has the right to be here…. But who he represents and the people he’s affiliated with… I feel that he should stay away. I don’t feel that his presence here is wanted, and I think he should honor that as a human being.”
The petition had garnered more than 110,000 signatures at the time, according to the petition’s tally.
Steven called Kassem’s appointment “hideous” and added that the youngest generation who does not remember or did not live through 9/11 are suffering from “incorrect information” and do not understand the reality of the terror attack.
He said he will educate his children on 9/11 so that they do not go down the same ideological road.
Attendee John told Fox News Digital that Mamdani does have a right to attend.
John said he lost friends including at now-Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s Cantor-Fitzgerald firm – which lost more than 650 people; the most of any company in the Twin Towers that day – and that as long as Mamdani is respectful to the fallen Americans being remembered, he is “fine” with the Democrat attending.
Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani for comment.
In a prior statement, the mayor said he is proud of New York and “love[s] this city [and] country.”
“[W]hat I want this week to be a focus on is on the families whose loved ones were stolen from them 25 years ago in the horrific act of terror of September 11, and a focus also on the first responders who gave everything they could to this city and to the people who came together to try and help their fellow New Yorkers.”
During the ceremony, footage captured Mamdani approaching and greeting his 9/11-era predecessor, Republican Rudolph Giuliani.

All living former presidents reportedly attended the ceremony, as President Donald Trump instead visited the Pentagon’s remembrance before departing for County Clare, Ireland from nearby Andrews Air Force Base.
